Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 bag (1 pound) frozen broccoli, red peppers, onions and mushrooms, thawed
  • 2 cups uncooked instant rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center.
  • 2

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Purchase precut chicken for stir-fry from the meat department of your supermarket and save time.
  • tip 2
    Boost flavor when you stir in 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules with the water, and omit salt. Add 1 teaspoon onion powder if you like.
